I've first installed Agnitum Outpost Free (1.0) and that worked with Ruby.
But since it was rather old and wanted to force me to upgrade to V2 (and
pay for it) I removed it. But still: it works with Ruby!

Later I tried Sygate Personal Firewall (Standard) 5.6, and it also works
with Ruby. I think I'll stay with this, it seems to be okay.

And the Panda anit-virus was replaced with free avast which works better.
Thanks to Ruby I've found time to switch to better software, great! :)
